Hawai'i Music Education Dashboard
The Hawaii Music Education Dashboard, a project of Aloha Music, aims to catalog the current status of school music programs across the State of Hawaii. This initiative will create a comprehensive baseline of data, which will serve as the foundation for our research and advocacy efforts to strengthen music education in the state. By gathering detailed information on the availability, quality, and scope of music programs in schools, we aim to identify gaps, areas of need, and opportunities for growth.
Once collected, this data will be shared with the public through an accessible platform, allowing educators, policymakers, parents, and community members to better understand the state of music education in Hawaii. This transparency will empower stakeholders to support initiatives that enrich music programs and ensure that every student has access to quality music education.
